SQUARE FOOD FOUNDATION

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT

YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021

Square Food Foundation

The Trustees present the Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 August 2021.

Reference and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective January 2019).

Legal Structure, Governance and Management

The organisation is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (the CIO) governed according to the rules of its CIO Foundation Constitution, registered on 7[th] June 2017.

Method of Recruiting and Appointing New Charity Trustees

There must be at least three charity trustees. If the number falls below this minimum, the remaining trustee or trustees may act only to call a meeting of the charity trustees or appoint a new charity trustee. The maximum number of charity trustees is 12. The charity trustees may not appoint any charity trustee if as a result the number of charity trustees would exceed the maximum.

Apart from the first charity trustees, every trustee must be appointed for a term of three years by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the charity trustees. In selecting individuals for appointment as charity trustees, the charity trustees must have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the CIO.

Organisational structure

The charity trustees manage the affairs of the CIO and may for that purpose exercise all the powers of the CIO.

The purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document

The advancement of education and training in subjects relating to healthy eating, diet and nutrition in Bristol and the surrounding areas by the provision of training activities to develop people’s skills, knowledge and capabilities in cookery and nutrition.

Aims and intended impact

Square Food Foundation (SFF) aims to reduce food poverty and inequality and improve health for Bristol and beyond by teaching people to cook good food from scratch.

Public Benefit

The Trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when reviewing its aims and objectives, and when planning its future activities. In line with guidance from the Charity Commission, the Trustees are satisfied that SFF continues to achieve its charitable aims by teaching

people to cook good food in order to improve their health and reduce poverty and inequality. Its public benefit is described in the paragraphs below.

Covid-19

Throughout the last year, COVID-19 continued to make its presence felt as lockdowns came and went, requirements for testing increased and face coverings became the norm. Despite these challenges, Square Food Foundation managed to maintain and deliver a full timetable of cookery classes and courses (both virtual and in person!) to our students.

Alongside our standard cookery classes, we scaled up support for individuals and families affected by the pandemic. Our virtual cookery club expanded, and we now deliver nearly 200 DIY recipe kits to families each week. The club was initially designed as a fun activity for families to do together during lockdown, these kits are now a weekly staple that people collect from distribution hubs across the city.

As Christmas approached, charities across the city stepped up to work together to ensure children wouldn’t go hungry during the holidays. With donations from FareShare SW, we packed and distributed almost 200 boxes of basic provisions to local families. This mammoth effort saw dozens of Square Food volunteers building boxes, sorting food, and dropping boxes on doorsteps across South Bristol. Biggest thanks go to the brilliant Hugo’s greengrocers for the loan of their van and to Trustee Luke Sapsed for taking charge of deliveries.

Cooking with older people ~~a~~

Like so many of our other courses, last year saw our Back in the Kitchen programme switch from face to face, to online ) and back again. Whatever the medium, attendance stayed steady with around 8-12 older adults taking part each hy , Le fi week. This drop-in class is designed to support older people (aged 55+) who may be at risk of isolation. Happily, we’re now back in the kitchen full time. Students arrive every Monday morning, ready to get cooking. Together, they prepare lunch, trying out new recipes and practising techniques, then sit down to eat what they’ve cooked with Square Food’s staff and volunteers. Once a month, students prepare food for our Lunch Club guests.

Cooking with young people

Over the last year, we provided practical skills for independent living to six different groups of young people. After a year of weekly classes, 12 young people from Belgrave School completed their BTec Level 2 Home Cooking Skills, gaining a practical qualification for the future. Alongside, a group of vulnerable young people from St Mary Redcliffe & Temple School attended in person workshops until lockdown forced us to take classes virtual. Thanks to support from the Hargreaves Foundation, we delivered a further five ‘Toolkit for Independent Living’ courses to different groups of young people studying at Cabot Learning Federation and at the Park Community Centre.

“I would definitely make fajitas again at home. I wouldn’t buy a kit…no, I’d be able to make them from scratch.”

Over the Summer, we welcomed young people from the Prince’s Trust and the National Citizenship Service who attended cookery workshops as part of a wider life skills programme.

Our 12-week vocational programme, How to be a Chef supports young people not in employment, education or training (NEET) and aims to provide them with a pathway into employment, with a specific focus on work in the food and hospitality sector.

Despite having seven students registered who where due to start in April 2020, COVID-19 rules meant we were forced to postpone not once but twice. To engage students and keep them connected, we launched a series of virtual classes – not to replace the programme but to introduce students to the course, the Square Food team and each other, and to sustain momentum until they could attend in person. Thanks to a grant from the Savoy Educational Trust, we were able to deliver eight online sessions. Students received recipes and a list of ingredients to weigh and measure before they logged on. During the class, the teacher demonstrated recipes for students to follow and cook in real time. There was plenty of opportunity for discussion and questions and students formed firm friendships even before they met in real life. April 2021 saw all seven students arrive at the Square Food kitchen to start (and eventually finish!) the course. 100%

students completed the programme AND achieved both their BTec level 2 qualification in Home Cooking Skills and their Level 2 Food & Hygiene Course. Students spend two days per week at the SFF kitchen. As well as plenty of hands-on cooking, the course included cookery demonstrations from various well-known guest chefs.

“The course was great, I learned so much being here and will use the skill I have learned in life everyday’. ‘The opportunities from the course are amazing, same as the people’

“The course has helped me get better at being able to talk to people and working in a group; cooking new things and experimenting with new ingredients”

We continued working with Bristol Area Downs Syndrome Support (BADSS), running monthly cookery sessions that provide young people with Downs Syndrome learners the skills, knowledge and confidence they need to cook and eat healthy meals when it comes to living independently.

Cooking with schools

During term-time

Last year, we completed nearly three years of work with local school Oasis Academy Connaught. Since 2019, we’ve been working with children, parents and staff to embed cooking into the school day and instil a culture of good food and healthy eating throughout the wider school community.

Thanks to individual donations, grants and corporate support, we’ve delivered practical cookery courses for parents, whole class workshops for children (30 children at a time) and an after-school club. We’ve worked with staff to build their confidence around cooking in the classroom and we’ve supported the school’s senior management team to fund and build a brand new, fully equipped cookery hub where staff can put into practice their newfound skills and knowledge to run their own cookery programmes. = x 4

We rounded off this project with the Story of Bread week – a five day, whole-school event which saw teaching staff incorporating the history and culture of breadmaking around the world into lessons as well as a breadmaking workshop for every child and a picnic lunch (with home-made sandwiches of course!) to finish the week.

Watch the video here

After delays caused by COVID-19, we launched our staff training programme with East Bristol’s Children’s Centre. This ‘train the trainer’ approach helps us amplify our impact beyond the Square Food kitchen, by building a city-wide network of food educators. After six weeks, staff and parent volunteers knew how to set up for a cookery class, techniques for teaching knife skills and simple recipes with minimal kit.

‘I’m more confident in cooking with kids in a way that is safe and allows them to practise cooking skills. Fantastic opportunity to give my daughter the opportunity to explore her interest in cooking’

During the school holidays

When schools close for the holidays, thousands of children that rely on free school meals are left without a lifeline. Over the last year, holiday hunger has hit the headlines more often than ever.

In response, Square Food has worked alongside schools, charities and community groups to deliver cookery workshops that not only stop children from going hungry but offer them something fun and productive to do during the school holidays.

Thanks to the government’s new Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme, we’ve delivered cookery workshops over the Summer for children eligible for free school meals from three local schools. We’ve supported Feeding Bristol and the Children’s Kitchen to write and publish Healthy Holidays recipe booklets – with ideas for breakfast, lunch and snacks, and we’ve worked with Bristol \ . } SS Sport Foundation to deliver cooking and activity workshops for groups of children from Oasis Academy Connaught.

Cooking with vulnerable groups

Your support enables us to work with some of the most vulnerable people in Bristol, including those women supported by the Peony project, part of One25 charity. This year saw us deliver workshops both online and in person. During lockdown, we hand-delivered 44 recipe kits direct to women’s homes to ensure they had the ingredients they needed to take part in the live, online cookery classes. As soon as restrictions eased, we were back in the kitchen at St Pauls Community Centre, cooking alongside a small group of around women each week. Over the year, 15 women have taken part in Square Food sessions at Peony. Sessions have been attended 70 times in total - 45 times in person and 25 times online.

Geri’s story

Geri has been engaging in the online sessions since November when Lockdown 2 began. At the start she expressed concern about joining as she lacked confidence and experience in the kitchen. We later learned that deciding to join the online session meant she would be cooking in her own kitchen for the first time.

She has consistently joined the sessions throughout the 11 weeks that they’ve been running and has expressed getting a huge amount of enjoyment and pride from this. At points she has been too anxious to join, or lacking in confidence. On one occasion Square Food still provided a recipe kit, and the next day we received pictures from her, showing that she’d persevered on her own, in her own time, and made the meal anyway.

One of the barriers she’s faced throughout is not having equipment or tools in her kitchen. With guidance from Jenny she has been able to purchase items for the kitchen that she uses both in session and when she cooks during the rest of the week, and often shares news of recipes she’s trialling by herself.

Geri has centred her goal setting around cooking at home and trying new meals, as she feels a healthy relationship with food is key to her personal development. Jenny has been able to support this by sending extra recipes that might be a good starting point for an aspiring chef, which have been a great motivation for Geri. We have seen her confidence and self-belief transform over the last few months.

“Today [cooking with Square Food at home] was really challenging but really great. Cooking in my own home is always something I’ve wanted to do, but I’ve been too scared to before now. I’ve reached my goal and now I’m grinning ear to ear. I’m proud of myself”

Cooking for health

Improving good health is one of the three main aims of Square Food Foundation’s Theory of Change, and is central to every class. However, last year saw Square Food dig deeper into the impact of diet and nutrition on illness when we launched a new programme of online workshops for people affected by cancer.

Delivered in partnership with cancer support charity, Penny Brohn UK, this series of virtual cookery demonstrations were aimed at people with cancer and for those caring for them. Led by Barny and Victoria Kubiak, nutritional therapist at Penny Brohn, these monthly sessions explored the world of food, cooking and health and offered opportunities for participants to ask questions, share stories and find support.

Fundraising

As a registered charity, we work hard to raise funds to deliver our work and maximise our impact. To do this, we apply for grants from Trusts and Foundations, inspire individuals to donate and partner with corporate supporters.

In 2020 – 21, we received support from Trusts and Foundations including the Savoy Educational Trust, the Hargreaves Foundation, Awards for All, HAF, Francis Winham Foundation, the Sobell Trust, ActionFunder and LocalGiving among others.

Our Corporate partners include Kerry Foods, the Jolly Hog and Agile Chilli as well as many of Bristol’s restaurants, food producers and retailers who supported our students, volunteered their time and donated ingredients.

By making a monthly donation, our regular givers continued to provide us with a source of stable, reliable income that allows us to plan ahead.

Thanks goes to each and every person who has helped us make an impact over the last 12 months.

Awareness

Square Food Foundation’s work continues to attract attention within Bristol and beyond. Read on for just a few headline events from the last 12 months.

Our Founder, Barny Haughton was recognised for his work with an MBE for Services to the Community.

Square Food Foundation was a Finalist in the Charity Category 2021 Bristol Life Awards!

As part of a series at the British Library, Barny gave a talk entitled ‘Beyond the Food Bank’, alongside speakers from Migrateful, Community Unity Leeds and the Brixton People’s Kitchen. Later in the year, he was invited to speak at Bristol Poverty Institute’s Child Health and Development Conference and took part in a steering group to inform the next steps for the National Food Strategy.

We continued to work with our friends and partners at Bristol 24/7 to promote our work and the case for food education.

Our Team

SFF relies on its ever-growing army of volunteers to perform myriad different roles, including weighing and measuring ingredients, supporting students, washing up, fundraising, communications,

governance and graphic design. Some volunteers turn up at the same time each week, others are available just once or twice a year. Each of them brings skill, enthusiasm and a shared passion for good food and the importance of learning to cook.

Our team of paid staff continues to exceed all expectations in terms of their commitment, capacity and ideas. This year, we welcomed Dan Ford into a new role as Kitchen Manager and cookery teacher.

Our Trustees remain a constant, guiding presence. They provide useful, insightful perspective, bring skills that complement the team and offer practical support whenever required.

Trading Arm – the Cookery school & Kitchen, CIC

SFF operates in tandem with the Cookery School & Kitchen, CIC.

Prior to 1 April 2021, Square Food Foundation was the sole member of and operated alongside its trading arm, the Cookery School & Kitchen, CIC, who would deliver all activity on behalf of Square Food Foundation in addition to its own other non-charitable activities and services including teambuilding workshops, event catering and masterclasses. Both the Charitable Objective of Square Food Foundation and the CIC Objective of The Cookery School & Kitchen, CIC, were very closely aligned and so historically the two entities worked closely together to provide healthy eating and nutrition services to the Bristol area.

In 2021, with an overall objective of streamlining services, to enable Square Food Foundation the opportunity to deliver and undertake its own activities and for the role of Square Food Foundation as the charitable entity to be more prominent and understood by both its users and any potential investors or donors, it was decided that the Cookery School & Kitchen, CIC would transfer its operations to the Square Food Foundation. An Operations Transfer Deed was executed on 31 March 2021, which went live from 1 April 2021, and as a result the assets and rights of the operations carried out by the Cookery School & Kitchen, CIC. The transfer also provided for a TUPE transfer of eight employees to Square Food Foundation and the termination of the framework agreement which previously governed the relationship between the two entities.

The Cookery School & Kitchen still exists to support the charity by donating all profit from its services and activities to Square Food Foundation.

Financial review

Unrestricted Funds

Square Food Foundation has £41,320 in unrestricted funds. After taking into account Fixed Assets of £1,185, Debtors of £2,111 and Designated Funds for 2021/2022 of £5,499 the available free unrestricted balance is £32,575. This can be used to fund any of Square Food Foundation’s projects should there be a shortfall in funding. Square Food Foundation is also able to use these unrestricted funds to run new projects which align to its charitable objects.

The trustee would like to hold a minimum of £10,000, the equivalent of running 1 standard project for 1, year, in unrestricted/free funds. Should Square Food Foundation’s unrestricted funds need to support a full year of its projects the value would need to be £130,000. However, based on our successful track record with funding the trustees believe that the maximum that we’d should need to

- 8 -

SQUARE FOOD FOUNDATION

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT

YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021

keep in unrestricted/free funds is the equivalent cost of running 4 projects for 1 year which is £40,000

Unrestricted funds are from donations from our trading arm (The Cookery School and Kitchen, CIC) up to 31[st] March 2021. From 1[st] April 2021 unrestricted funds are from profits from catering, masterclasses and team building events delivered by Square Food Foundation. And unrestricted donation from trusts, corporate partners, and the public.

Reserves Policy

The Trustees have agreed that the Charity must hold a designated reserve in the event of Square Food Foundation ceasing to trade and therefore being liable to pay statutory redundancy to eligible employees as well as any contractual liabilities the Charity holds, i.e. it’s lease.

At 31[st] August 2021 the total redundancy bill for 9 employees is equal to £17,687.78. We will review this figure each year and adjust accordingly.

At 31[st] August 2021 Square Food Foundation is contractually obliged to provide 3 months notice should it want to terminate it’s lease contract. 3 months rent is equal to £1,999.98 (3 x 666.66)

We would also be liable to pay our insurance which end is May 2022 – balance to pay would be £389.29

The trustee also deem is responsible to hold the equivalent of 1 month cost in order to pay any creditors. Average monthly costs (not including lease or salary costs) for 2022/2021 is £4,783.87

Therefore, as of 31[st] August 2021 the total reserved needed is £23,060.

Currently The Cookery Schools and Kitchen, CIC holds £30,022 as a designated reserves which is due to be transferred to Square Food Foundation as part of the Operations Transfer Deed. The transfer will be reflected in Square Food Foundations 2022/2023 annual accounts.

Future proofing our designated reserves

In early 2022 Square Food Foundation, together with its landlord The Park Centre, will be moving into a brand-new premise. With this moved comes a new lease contract and increase in rent from £8,000pa to £17,000 + VAT pa, increasing by £1,000pa for 5 years. The new lease contract is 5 years with a break clause at 3 years if we provide 12-months’ notice. This means that Square Food Foundation, should it cease trading, would be liable for up to £64,800, declining year on year. It is extremely unlikely that Square Food Foundation would cease trading, but it’s something that the Trustees are aware of and therefore have deemed that keeping the designated reserves at £30,022 is adequate.

SFF continues to prioritise making its programmes as accessible and affordable as possible. The charity maintains a good balance between commissioned income and fundraised income. We end the year in a positive position, with a satisfactory level of reserves.

Challenges and opportunities in 21-22

This year has seen us put in place internal systems and governance to improve our operations and consolidate our position as Bristol’s leading cookery school.
